Hiding My Pregnancy: Would Abortion Be an Option?

If you’re considering keeping your pregnancy secret, it’s important to consider the reasons behind your decision.

Are you worried about how your parents, partner, or family might react? Are you feeling stressed about judgment from colleagues or classmates? Or are you concerned about your safety in an abusive relationship? (If so, don’t hesitate to call the National Domestic Abuse Hotline for 24/7 support.)

These feelings and concerns are entirely understandable. However, while abortion may end a pregnancy, it won’t necessarily resolve the challenges you’re facing. You can take other paths, and you shouldn’t feel pressured into one decision.

This article will cover key considerations to help you decide what’s best for you, including abortion. If you’d like to discuss your options in person or access free support services, contact the Caring for Women Center to set up a one-on-one appointment.

Considering Your Pregnancy Options?

Abortion is one possibility, but it’s not your only option. Parenting and adoption are also paths you can explore.

When considering your choices, it’s essential to look beyond the desire to hide your pregnancy. Situations that feel overwhelming now may change with time.

For instance, the family or partner you’re worried about might surprise you with their support. Financial concerns may ease as you complete your education or find job resources.

Ask yourself this crucial question: If your current circumstances weren’t a factor, which option would feel right to you? Taking the time to explore that choice fully can bring clarity and peace of mind.
